Today we would like to introduce to you an excellent graphics card from ASUS based on ATI X800 PRO chip. The outstanding accessories set, low noise level and crystal-sharp image quality are its major trumps, which would undoubtedly appeal to you. Check out now, how fast this solution can actually be!

Highly Anticipated DirectX 9 Game 2

Danger level

The fill rate is among the crucial factors in this next-generation computer game (see our detailed article about this game), so the GeForce 6800 Ultra/GT get big fps numbers here. Overclocking the AX800 PRO is rather unrewarding.

The ASUS looks much better in the “eye candy” mode. Thanks to the excellent suitability of ATI’s GPUs to FSAA and anisotropic filtering, it can challenge the GeForce 6800 GT here.

Escape level

The “pure speed” mode on the Escape level is much alike to the same mode on Danger, only the fps rates are different.

The same goes for the “eye candy” mode: NVIDIA’s products suffer a considerable performance hit, while the ASUS AX800 Pro is comparable to the GeForce 6800 GT in this test.
